The Michigan State Journal of HistoryMSJoH is one of the only undergraduate-managed history journals in the country. Majors elect an editorial board and solicit papers from students in upper-level history courses. The board reviews the papers, makes decisions about what will be published, and gives feedback to the authors. For six years, the journal was released in a print. This year, the board opted for an online volume, so that readership would be broader. With help of H-Net, the board also digitized all previous issues, which can be seen on our website.
